Depression
David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Depression can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, stuck, or numb, even when you’re trying your best to keep going. Sometimes it looks like sadness, but other times it feels more like emptiness, irritability, low motivation, isolation, or struggling to recognize yourself the way you used to.
I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about what you’ve been carrying without feeling pressured to pretend things are okay. Together, we can explore the thoughts, experiences, and patterns that may be weighing on you as we work toward greater clarity, self-understanding, and emotional balance at a pace that feels manageable for you.

Depression
Kim Alscher
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
Depression is highly treatable, and psychotherapy can help identify both the triggers and the deeper meanings attached to these experiences. Many people also hold unrecognized patterns of thought or behaviour that can prolong or intensify depression. I work to address these underlying factors, and assist clients to gain insight, accept what cannot be changed, and discover practical ways to improve their wellbeing.

Depression
Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Depression can make everything feel heavy, distant, or exhausting. It's this ugh feeling accompanying everything; this dark cloud tainting every experience. But there are ways to actually alleviate that cloud and actually feel lighter. You don't have to fake-smile your entire life.

Depression
Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
It doesn't always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like going through the motions, feeling flat, always irritable, or wondering why nothing seems to land the way it used to. Depression has a way of making everything feel heavier and further away, including the idea that things could be different. I work with people to understand what's underneath it and find a way back to themselves.

Depression
GrewpTogether.ca
Pre-Licensed Professional, BPHE, MRE, MACP
Depression is an ache, a longing, and sometimes no desire at all. I’ve been there. I know how it can make life feel distant, heavy, or like something you’re simply moving through rather than living. Together, we can slow things down, listen to what’s underneath the heaviness. Often there are some big thoughts that have never been examined, some grief, some paths never taken - everything belongs.

Depression
Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Therapy is a place for all matters of the heart, body and soul. Depression can range from mild to completely disabling, and the root causes varied and individual. While medical support can be helpful, therapy can help us get to the root of what we are emotionally 'depressing'. I believe in the mind/body connection which includes both, helping a client to access practical tools for coping day to day as well as exploring the deeper emotions stored in the body that might be contributing to the depression. From a deeply compassionate and client centred approach within the therapeutic connection the client feels less alone offering them hope as they navigate their depression.

Hira Imam
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP, RCC, CCC
I work with individuals when their life is feeling numb - you're not feeling the joyful moments fully and everything else feels like one dull moment. Life feels stuck and you feel stuck. I support individuals in understanding themselves and their needs better to live a life that is meaningful to them. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*

Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous municipalities — home to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, and housing the headquarters of Electronic Arts Canada alongside major Telus offices and other technology employers — creating a therapy demand shaped by tech-sector burnout, academic stress, and a highly multicultural population that includes large Chinese, South Korean, Iranian, and South Asian communities. SFU and BCIT generate significant student mental health demand and clinical training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. Burnaby Hospital and nearby Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community that serves residents increasingly priced out of Vancouver proper. Many Burnaby residents access the broader Metro Vancouver therapy ecosystem, and the relative proximity to Vancouver means specialist care is generally accessible.
